Samsung held its Unpacked event on February 9. Here's everything that was announced.
The first Samsung Galaxy Unpacked for 2022 came and went on February 9 as Samsung launched the highly anticipated Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra. We also got three new tablets in the Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8 Plus, and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. Each of these devices comes feature-packed with top-of-the-line specifications — and price points to match. So without further ado, let’s dive into it.
From a camera perspective, the Galaxy S22 Ultra has the specifications to continue its dominant position in the smartphone camera market. The main sensor is a 108-megapixel f/2.2 sensor that uses nona-binning to combine nine pixels into one. Complementing that is a 12 MP 120-degree ultrawide sensor, a 10x optical zoom periscope lens, and a 3x optical zoom sensor. The 108MP main camera is supported by laser autofocus as well. On the front, there’s a single 40 MP selfie camera.
The camera setup on the back and front are identical between the two phones. You get a 50MP F/1.8 sensor for your main camera. The ultrawide is a 12MP 120-degree sensor and the zoom camera is a 10MP 3x optical zoom sensor, which could be an upgrade over the cropped zoom sensor on last year’s Galaxy S21 series. On the front, both phones have a 10MP selfie camera.
On the back of the tablet sits a dual-camera module that you probably won’t use much, unless you desperately need a camera with a 14.6-inch viewfinder. There’s a 13MP main sensor with autofocus and a 6MP ultrawide sensor. There are some use cases for rear-mounted cameras on a tablet — document scanning for example. The back of the tablet is also where you slot in the S Pen with a very secure magnetic attachment.
As for internals, there are some similarities to the Tab S8 Ultra. All three machines run the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. The Galaxy Tab S8 and Tab S8 Plus both have 8GB of RAM and internal storage up to 256GB. All three tablets have the same camera setup on the back, including the 13MP primary camera and 6MP ultrawide. The Galaxy Tab S8 and Tab S8 Plus have a single 12 MP.
